The first thousand two hundred and eighty-one chapters win the hearts of the people
When they came out of the underground, the bodies of the group were all covered with all kinds of mud and the stinky filth from the sewers. Except for the great alchemist Galt, who had the ability to let the wind of metal surround him without even a trace, everyone was in a mess.
Especially the former little queen Alisara, she
With disgust and helplessness, she looked at her long rain boots covered in mud and Skaven feces. The disgusting smell almost made Alisala faint on the spot. The little queen had been enjoying the most luxurious life since she was a child.
Good living environment, has she ever encountered such treatment?
However, Alisara could only admit that staying with Frederick at this time was the most important thing.
"I'll go prepare." As soon as he came out, Galt said to everyone. The great alchemist planned to give the Skaven a hard blow.
"Then I will prepare too." Nuer Marshal Erstein nodded: "I want every man of Nuer age to be ready for battle, even grooms and chefs. According to the current situation
Look, the Skaven can attack anywhere."
"Then I'll go to the Krupp factory to see how Maybach and the others are preparing." Frederick nodded, Noor's war machine was crucial.
Ryan's eldest son was born and raised in Nuer since childhood, and was influenced by the atmosphere of Nuer. He has a bit of a "Puritan" flavor. To this day, he has not touched his fiancée Noelle and chief maid Alisa.
La, both Emilia and Frey themselves are only thinking about getting married officially, and the formal wedding obviously requires the presence of biological father Ryan and godfather Karl-Franz, so even though he is in his early 20s this year, the wedding
The ceremony is still delayed.
However, Frey is still very good at emotional intelligence and dealing with others. He first took Alisala and Noelle to find a hotel nearby, took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and then rushed directly to Krupp without stopping.
factory.
The huge and spectacular Krupp Factory is both a fortress and a maze. As the largest and oldest weapons manufacturing factory in Nuer City, the entire factory complex is like a fortress, with solid brick walls connecting a series of stone buildings.
divided into buildings, factories,
The blacksmith shop, the furnace and the warehouse, they all surround the huge courtyard in the center - built as a weapons testing ground. Thick smoke rises from the chimneys of the factory, and there is a pungent smell everywhere, the smell of workers' sweat.
, the smell of steel and the burnt smell of fire and smoke.
Noelle was fine, Alisara still didn't like the smell. The former little queen frowned, wrapped herself in a cloak, held Frey's hand like a little bird, and followed the baron.
Frederick took a few deep breaths.
The Baron likes this smell, steel and gunpowder. Within the factory area, workers work hard with sweat, using their wisdom and strength to forge from the fire, assemble parts from the assembly line, and pour hot steel from the steel furnace.
Molten iron, forging and grinding parts, is the pride of the Nuer people. Nuer rose because of the empire, and the empire became great because of Nuer.
Noor's chief engineer Maybach is now in the factory. He is making final adjustments to the prototype steam tank of the Savior. This old antique is about to go into battle as one of Noor's pride and last trump cards. Seeing Frey
Derek came, and Maybach got off the Savior and said with a smile: "My Baron, why are you here?"
"How are the preparations going?" asked Frederick, and the Baron was obviously interested.
"Ready to fight at any time, old man." Maybach reached out to touch the steel plate on the surface of the Savior with emotion and love, and felt the gold paint, skull, iron cross, griffon pattern, and Chief Noor on it with his fingertips.
The great engineer even pressed his face against the surface of the Savior, as if he was feeling something.
A minute later, Maybach turned to Frederick and said: "I can feel that my old buddy is also eager to fight!"
You can still communicate with machine spirits, right?
Black lines appeared on Frederick's forehead.
"We have successfully confirmed the presence of the Skaven." Frederic thought for a moment: "In one day at most, I want to see all the steam tanks, as well as land speeders and Dame Emmanuel.
The cruiser is assembled and driven out of the factory."
"No problem, we have been preparing for a long time." Maybach nodded, and the chief engineer personally stroked the steel plate of the Savior: "There are a total of 22 steam tanks, two land cruisers and the Baroness-class land cruiser are ready. Among them
I must admire Lord Galt for his new invention of power.
The steam engine uses a kind of metal that I have never seen before. It has super air tightness, ductility and durability, which has improved the power of our steam engine by more than one level. Now that the Savior has installed a new power system, the power
It is very enough, even in the wild, it can reach 30 kilometers per hour."
"My mentor has always been good at scientific and technological research."
Frederick stayed at noon. He took Alisala and Noelle to have lunch directly in the canteen of Krupp Steel Company. After finishing his lunch quickly, the young baron stepped directly on the table:
"Everyone! Listen up!"
The canteen fell silent, and thousands of Nuer's skilled workers turned their attention to Frederick.
Our Baron! Noor’s savior, a hero who has played more than 100 games in 3 years!
The handsome and slightly noble Frederick's facial features were closer to Amelia's, but his eyes were as deep as Ryan's and swirled with spiritual light. The Baron stood at the dinner table and said loudly: "Everyone, I must
You all know that war is approaching!"
There was silence below.
"I believe you all know very well that the main force of the empire, the main force of our empire, has been defeated in the north. Our mountains and rivers are broken and precarious. Our cities and villages have been reduced to ashes. Our people are struggling on the edge of destruction!"
Frederick shouted to more than a thousand skilled workers: "And we Nuer are about to face the largest war since Tamu Khan. Tell me, Nuer people, are you afraid?
"
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" The workers in the canteen suddenly shouted, we are proud Nuer people, we are the light on the pearl of the empire, what are we afraid of?
"Yes, we are not afraid, because hope still exists! Because we are still there!" Frederick tried hard to recall a series of pre-war speeches by his father, Ryan, and pieced together his own words. He waved his fist and shouted: "
Nuer, the last hope of the empire, the last fighters of the empire, we are standing here now, we will prove that Nuer is the last hope of the empire, Nuer is the last salvation of the empire, Nuer is the last stubbornness of the empire, everyone, you
Do you believe me? Do you believe each other?"
"We believe!" The workers were blushing when Frederick said, yes, we are Nuer people, what a glory, what a great Nuer people!
"Today, whether we are men, women, old or young, or people of any origin or from different places, we will not fight alone. Just today, we will face the devil who invades our homeland. Today, we will be here and fight with anyone.
The enemies trying to attack the Pearl of the Empire will fight to the death. Today, let us reverse the doomsday prophecy of the "Book of Destiny"!" Frederick shouted loudly: "Let me believe in each other and look forward to the future, for the sake of the Empire!"
There was applause in the cafeteria. If a fifty-year-old experienced nobleman had said this, the workers might not have been so excited, but Frederick was only in his early twenties, and he had always been with the Nuer people.
In the afternoon, the steel company continued to work. Amidst the billowing smoke, the muskets, artillery, and war equipment that the empire relied on would continue to be produced to defend their country. The workers dispersed in an orderly manner and entered their posts.
Use wisdom and diligence to write the glory of the empire.
Frederick was not idle either. After finishing his meal, he immediately rushed to the Black Tower Palace.
Surprisingly, the entire military mobilization did not cause panic among the citizens of Nuer. On the contrary, hundreds of people gathered in front of the palace of the Baroness.
They came to make donations, Noor's war donations.
The dignitaries of Nuer, the officers of Nuer, the citizens of Nuer, and even the refugees who had fled into the city from outside, all gathered together. When they saw the large-scale mobilization of troops in the city, they knew that a war was about to begin.
, this will be a battle of survival for Nuer. Many of them have no way to participate in the war, but they want to contribute their own strength to Nuer.
This caused a headache for the Blackstone Guards who guarded the Imperial Baroness and the Palace Finance Minister appointed by Emilia. The Wittelsbach family, a powerful Nur family, directly pulled 300 sets of exquisite plate armor and 100,000 pieces of gold from the family treasury.
Kim Mark, throws things away and runs away, regardless of whether Amelia wants to take them or not.
Before the carts of supplies and money were delivered to the Baroness's palace, a large crowd blocked the street. People shouted Emmanolie or Frederic's name and donated generously, some of which donated tens of thousands of gold coins.
, some donate a few silver coins.
A white-haired, hunchbacked old vegetable seller came in front of everyone. She tremblingly took out a cloth bag that still contained body temperature from the burlap clothes. She gently opened the rough cloth on the spot and placed it on it.
Holding a dozen copper coins with extremely worn edges, she stuffed them into the hands of the bureaucrats, and the words she said made everyone present couldn't help but shed tears.
"As you all know, I am uneducated, illiterate, and don't know that much. I only know that since the year before last, the situation has been getting worse and worse, and the harvests have become worse and worse. Beastmen, greenskins, and other things have been...
The sky appears in the wild, killing our people, robbing us of food, and seeing that we poor people cannot survive. There is not a grain of barley in the house, and the bark of the trees and weeds have been eaten up."
"We old people died of hunger and were eaten by wild beasts. We have nothing. But my grandsons and granddaughters, one is five years old and the other is three years old, are so hungry that they are skin and bones. We are so hungry that we cry and roll on the ground.
I looked miserable, but I had no choice but to bite my fingers and let them drink my blood. Poor my country and my family!"
"Fortunately, Charlemagne took pity on us, and the baron came. He led his soldiers to drive away the beastmen. He led his soldiers to judge and execute the nobles who escaped, and severely punished the cowards. He divided the fields and grain for us.
What we eat keeps us alive, and he tells us not to be afraid, that we can always trust him, that he will never give up on us.”
"The Baron defeated the greenskins, killed all the beastmen, and personally brought talismanic water and medicine to cure the plague for us. He is over 20 years old, and he is still a bachelor. He has fought countless battles in the past three years and is still unmarried.
, he went out to live with those soldiers
He stirred a spoon in a big pot, and even gave me his own food rations after seeing that I had no children, and arranged accommodation for us poor people, so that the old woman could find a job selling vegetables and washing vegetables in the vegetable market.
, feed my family.”
"These are the twelve copper coins I have left from selling vegetables. I know this money is not much, and I also know that this money is nothing, but... this is the only thing I can do. Please accept it... accept it
Well, this is a little bit of my thoughts."
I don’t know how many of the Tyrells, Wesenlanders, Iveylanders and even the Reiklanders on the street had the same experience as this old woman. They cried in sympathy, even the natives of Nuer
Everyone shed tears. The national situation is so difficult. Only by uniting as one can we hold on to everything we have and overcome the difficulties together.
Soon, donations were no longer a matter for nobles. Thousands of citizens gathered at the entrance of the Black Tower Palace to donate generously. They swore an oath to live and die with Nuer!
"Now I kind of understand why the high elves have declined so much." In the distance, Alisala was so moved that she couldn't help wiping her tears with a silk scarf: "You will never see this scene in Lothern.
.”
"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world." Noelle said softly. The war goddess recalled her experience of fighting bloody battles for Tyrell and Estalia until she died and then became a god: "I will never regret falling into the dust.
"
"The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage." Frederick stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears. The baron looked at the piles of gold and silver and let out a long sigh: "I'll go find my mother! Let her take that out!"
That afternoon, tens of thousands of elite field troops, including the Nur Iron Armored Army, the Nur Black Stone Guards, the Wesenland Black Rose Guards, the Wesenland Star Tower Archer Corps, the Solland Eldrad Guards and the Red Shirt Army,
More than a dozen knights, including the Knights of the Sun, were standing in the large square at the entrance of the Black Tower Palace.
"What does your ladyship want to do?"
"I don't know, there must be something important to announce."
"Hopefully it's a good thing."
"The war is about to begin, I can't wait."
In the square, everyone was talking a lot, and then everything became silent as the door opened.
Imperial Baroness Emilia walked in front in a crimson baroness dress, and Grand Cantor Casmir XI and Baron Frederic also walked on both sides in full formal attire. Together they held a large flag and raised it.
Hanging on a ten-meter-high flagpole.
This large flag is more than four meters long and two meters wide. The pattern is a gold lion with a black frame and a red background. There is a double-tailed comet pattern on the top of the lion's head, and a familiar name is written in blood on it.
Savior-Ludwig.
"This is... the battle flag of His Majesty the Savior!" Marshal Nur Erstein was the first to shout. The Marshal was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on his knees and couldn't help but sob: "He is really the Savior.
The battle flag! Lord Ludwig, Noor is still there, and we are still there!"
Jubal Fok, commander of the Nuer Ironclad Army, burst into tears: "Great savior, I know you have never forgotten the Nuer people. You are our pride! You will always be with us!"
"I can feel the power on the battle flag, savior! You are finally back, join us in the bloody battlefield again!" Noor Justice Theodor Bruckner knelt down heavily, and he choked: "Savior
President, save the empire, save your people."
The legendary military flag reappeared in the world after hundreds of years. Tens of thousands of troops in the main square were so excited that they could hardly breathe.
One hundred and eighty years ago, during the Great Holy War, half of the empire fell. Everything was bleak. The old world seemed doomed to destruction. All hope was dead. The emperor had died in battle. The Chaos Army was raging in the empire. Even Nuer, known as the Pearl of the Empire,
None of them were spared. The Khorne sect destroyed, looted, and burned, the Tzeentch sect marched on the streets, the Slaanesh sect spread fear and chaos everywhere, and the Nurgle sect emphasized that "Charlemagne is dead" and that belief in a loving father is the future.
At this moment, a twin-tailed comet streaked across the sky.
A fighting priest walked out of the Nuer countryside and gave a famous speech to the Nuer people.
"Imperials! Unite!"
The glorious and magnificent prologue begins. The panicked army, the panicked citizens, and the fanatical priests are united under this banner, and follow the savior from one side of the empire to the other side, until the evil is broken,
Chaos fled, and the gryphon war flag was stained with the blood of the great demon, standing on the ice field of Kislev.
He is the emperor who came out of Nuer. He is the pride of Nuer and the source of the Nuer people's greatest sense of identity with the empire. To a certain extent, he changed Nuer and he changed the empire. The new empire is in
Rising from the ruins of the old empire, he led the post-war revolt
During the construction and reform, he established a new system. He drove the Chaos Beastmen into the forest. His era was the best era. As long as everyone worked hard, everyone had a chance. As long as they worked hard, the future was bright. Many people miss the great savior.
and his fifty-year golden reign.
Steel, gunpowder, faith.
When this battle flag appeared, everything boiled.
The magnificent epic of the Great Holy War is destined to be staged again.
The empire will not die, Nuer will not die!
The battle flag was handed into Frederick's hands, and the baron proudly raised the Redeemer's battle flag and pointed it straight into the sky.
"Soldiers, I, Frederick, your baron is going to hunt rats today, who else among you? Who wants to come with me?"
Frederick responded with a roar that shook the whole city.
At the same time, after hearing Frederick's roar, the great alchemist Galt couldn't help but smile on his face behind the mask.
Thousands of tons of smoking industrial wastewater followed Geert's great spell and turned directly into a hot metal torrent rushing down the sewer. Then the dikes were opened, and the water from the Wesen and Ivey rivers poured directly into Nuer.
The sewers were caught off guard by the Skaven arsenal, hundreds of warpstone bombs, countless war equipment, and stitch monsters, and were shattered into pieces.
